@Andrew Postell thank you. I’m with you 100%. Not afraid of hard, I’m willing to do the work and I’m not gonna quit. Going to keep treating it as a business. Thank you again for the encouragement and keeping it real:)

@Andrew Postell thank you for your response. I appreciate you keeping it real and sharing your wisdom.

I have been reading Pace Morby’s book and learning about subject to and seller finance. This seems like a great opportunity (and probably the only option) for me. He and others are constantly doing deals with no cash or credentials, so it seems like the barrier to entry is the knowledge and experience more than my available capital or work history. Trying to sponge up as much as I can in the next few months because I am determined to get out of renting and into investing as soon as possible in LA. This would buy me so much more time in the city to focus on building my career and business.

 What are your thoughts on subject to/seller finance and using private money when a good deal requires a down payment?

I am a music producer and songwriter from Ohio, graduating from Berklee College of Music spring of 2024. I'm on an active search for ways to set myself up for success when I move from Boston to LA next summer. I believe creative finance and house hacking will allow me to get a head start on my investment portfolio and give me the space and time to grow my music career. I do not have substantial savings or enough income history to get a traditional loan. I would would love to start as soon as possible and avoid being a tenant and working 50 hours a week at a restaurant to make ends meet.
If anyone lives in the LA/Burbank/Studio City/North Hollywood area and has experience with house hacking and/or creative finance and would be willing to have a conversation with me, I will really love some advice. I have been reading and listening to as much as I can to learn how to do this, but still feels a bit overwhelming. thank you!
